Down on the Farm: 9/13/2011 Playoff Edition

AA Richmond Flying Squirrels won a see-saw battle with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats 10-9:

Charlie Culberson(2B)- 3 for 6, HR, SB.
Johnny Monell(DH-C)- 2 for 4, BB.
Wendell Fairley(LF)- 3 for 4, SB.
Jackson Williams(C)- 4 for 4, 2B, BB.
Skyler Stromsmoe(SS)- 4 for 4, HR, Sac.

I looked up the score last night and went to bed thinking the Squirrels had lost 9-8. What a pleasant surprise this morning! They take a 1-0 lead in the EL Championship series.

High A Stockton Ports eliminated the San Jose Giants from postseason play with a 4-2 win:

Gary Brown(CF)- 1 for 4, 2B. BA= .375.
Jarrett Parker(RF)- 2 for 4, HR(4). BA= .462.
Andy Reichard(RHP)- 6 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 6 K's.

Listed stats are cumulative for the postseason. Even though they were eliminated in this one, it's been a great season for the Little Giants. Gary Brown had strong first full season. Tommy Joseph came on like gangbusters in the second half. Jarrett Parker had a huge postseason. Chris Dominguez and Heath Hembree moved up to bigger and better things in AA. Next year is already shaping up to be a good one for San Jose too!

    purdy with the scoop

    giants do a lot of things right...this aint one of them

    buzz from some beat guys is that it was a power move by the burn's kids, as they are majority owners

    questions to ask...what happens to the neukom philosophy?

    what happens to timmy and cain?

    what happens to overall payroll? is it back to 02-08?

    what happens to farm system and drafting philosophy?

    these are questions that shouldnt have been aske for the next 5 years
